People in these situations will tend to stay in a fixed position for long periods of time, creating an environment for ulcers to occur. Common problem areas include the sacrum, buttocks, hips and heels. Bony prominences and locations where medical devices are worn are also considered high-risk. Mepilex® Border Flex dressings’ five-layer construction protects the wound and handily absorbs any exudate. The durability and gentle adhesion of Molnlycke’s SafeTac® technology helps it to stay in place for several days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes. Because regular monitoring of pressure ulcers is vital to the healing process, Safetac® is ideal because it allows the dressing to be lifted from the wound with little-to-no pain for the patient, and be re-applied several times over the course of the dressing’s life. Mepilex® bordered dressings with SafeTac® technology are, as mentioned above, also designed with ulcer prevention in mind. Mepilex Border Sacrum and Mepilex Border Heel, in particular, are anatomically shaped, helping them to fit and stay in place around areas prone to pressure injuries. They are also the only dressings engineered with Deep Defense® technology, designed to protect against extrinsic factors that cause ulcers, such as pressure, shear and friction.
